There are some very familiar looking rankings posting on ComiPress this weekend — looks like first up is a Top 300 Series of 2008
…I have access to some inside info [*chuckle*] so I also know that ComiPress will soon be posting a top volumes chart. If you were to check http://comipress.com/special/manga-ranking you’ll find not only the Top 100 volumes, just as soon as they post, but also the other charts I’ve done for ComiPress. If you hadn’t caught on yet, I’m sending them a monthly series ranking — and while the posting schedule has been erratic the past few months (we got off to a rocky start; three months of charts posted in the last couple of weeks) looking forward into the new year I should be able to post a series chart there on or about the 5th of each month.

if I win the lottery, Bradley Schenck will be getting a pile of cash to redesign this site from scratch.
In my head, I sound like Yahtzee (quite a feat, given my inherited U.S.-flat-midwestern-accent.)
where I start my browsing day...
...and one source I trust for reviews, reports, and opinion on manga specifically...
...and where my casual browsing usually ends, past the research for various articles that I have to do each day.
Note: NSFW. Icarus, best described as "the Thinking Man's Porn Manga." Simon does me the undeserved favor of dropping free review copies my way, which I have callously ignored to date. Simon's blog is also a must-read, for a look at the manga industry from a small indy publisher's perspective. Plus, porn.
